President Trump defended his Walter Reed medical imaging results as perfect, renewing public debates over presidential transparency and health privacy.
**WASHINGTON** — President Donald Trump has again defended the results of advanced medical imaging he underwent at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, describing the findings as “outstanding,” “excellent” and “perfect” while providing limited specifics during an exchange with reporters aboard Air Force One.
The examination took place in October 2025 as part of a second physical evaluation that year. The White House initially characterized the visit as a routine medical checkup before later describing it as an expanded wellness assessment intended to offer a more thorough review of the president’s health.
Trump’s comments drew attention when he acknowledged that he did not know exactly which part of his body had been scanned. The lack of detail promptly raised questions about why the imaging had been included in what was first presented as a standard physical and whether the administration had offered sufficient transparency about the president’s health.
